Marion's Miscellaneous Musings

Laurie's thing about us as parents as that we are really old. Really really old. Old enough to confuse (which is generally true!) Maybe that is why, for a 53rd bithday cake, she wrote "23" on it, and put the candles for "53" in reverse order and backwards. So for Jack's birthday he got to play with the grandson, play with fire (barbecue) and read. Almost perfect. If it had been 10 degree F cooler, it would all have happened in the backyard, mostly in the hammock. But that is what you get for living in a semi-arid climate and being born in the summer.

We had a lovely Senegalese girl overnight until her host parents could take her. And then there is Evelyn from China, here for a month. She is a college student. (stop me if you have heard this before). When I brought Lindsey over for the first time, she said "Oh! You have brought me a toy to play with!"

And we see why Lindsey is not a binky baby....he can't figure out which end to put in his mouth!

And in other news: still psychotic, have to find two homes for kids coming in this Saturday.
